Sappi Gratkorn Implements Overlapping Sootblowing Technology to Lower Environmental Impact

Sappi Gratkorn is a paper mill in Austria that produces high-quality multi-coated paper. The mill has been in operation for over a century. In recent years, the company Sappi and their respective mills have been investing in developing their facilities to reduce their environmental impact. The newly formed sustainability partnershipSappi Gratkorns goal was to reduce their steam consumption and therefore reduce their annual cost of lowering their environmental impact.  In the year 2021, Sappi Gratkorn entered into a sustainability partnership with Heat Management to investigate ways of furthering their eco-effective journey.It was determined that Heat Managements High Impact Sootblowing System™  was an appropriate solution to implement into the boiler's superheater, in order to achieve more sootblowing with less steam. Sappi Gratkorn, like most red liquor recovery boilers, operates the steam sootblowing in separate cycles. This makes the HISS™ operation comparable to power boilers with various fuels like biomass and waste.Sappi Gratkorn is renowned to streamline its mill for a better environment. [...]

Optimizing Power Boiler Performance Amid Volatile Energy Prices

In recent years, volatile energy prices have become the norm in Europe and across the globe, with a number of factors triggering what the EU is calling an unprecedented energy crisis. Gas prices increased more than 170% in 2021, and more than 150% between July 2021 and 2022. Factors contributing to increased energy prices include extreme climate conditions, higher gas consumption in Asia, greater scarcity of nuclear and hydropower electricity, and disruptions as a result of the war in Ukraine and Russia’s decision to cut gas supply to several EU countries. While higher demand and energy prices mean greater profitability for power plant operators, it also means more pressure on critical components such as the power boiler which, in turn, can lead to higher operating costs. By investing in solutions that increase the operational effectiveness of the power boiler and other infrastructure, power plant operators can cut down on costs while ensuring they keep up with performance demands.  The [...]
